I concluded: according to the bible god is timeless. therefore he is living in every moment in the time to come and the past. So if god created all of us in his image at the same time, as he created us he would watch at the certain ones were sent to hell.
ok so I used to always ask my youth leaders what about the people that never heard about Jesus? and the most logical answer i received was that since sin had entered the world it left them with a lesser chance of "receiving Christ" than say someone who grew up in a conservative Christian family.
so my conclusion was god created people with a lesser or no chance of receiving salvation as he sent them to hell at the same time.
Therefore the Christian God of the bible is unjust and makes no sense to what is preached in it. he is highly contradictory and is less than perfect.

Good thinking process. Keep it up and you will learn lots and lots more.
Read the posts here that interest you. If you have questions, post a thread and ask it. I am sure somebody will try to give you answers. And if you aren't satisfied with answer ask whomever to explain their answers.

Not only those who grew up in a Christian family, but remember that God is responsible for who gets born into which family; and for every alignment of every molecule in the human brain, of every situation that happens in one's life, etc., etc. Plus, this is not exactly a new idea in Biblical Christianity - God "has mercy on who he wants to have mercy, and hardens who he wants to harden", etc., etc.
The alternative is for people to be able to say, "the reason I am saved as opposed to the next person is that I was (smarter, luckier, more humble, more holy, better looking, or whatever) than the next person." If God is timeless & allpowerful, then no one can get away with saying, "I'm saved because I lucky enough to be born in this Christian family", since even if that were all there was to it, God decided which family they would be born into...
